Abstract
The growth of tobacco callus in culture (previously shown to contain gibberellin [GA]-like substances), and its ability to metabolize [3H]-GA20 were examined. Growth rates, in the presence and absence of exogenously applied GA, were examined in light and dark conditions. Dark-grown callus grew at a much faster rate than light-grown and [3H]GA20 was metabolized much more rapidly in darkness than in light.
[3H]GA1 was identified by combined gas-liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry as a major product of [3H]GA20, and was found to be a more potent promoter of tobacco callus growth than GA20.
